Hottie of the Year: Sheheryar Munawwar Siddiqui.
The heartthrob has been setting our TVs ablaze all year with his gut-wrenching performance in the Geo TV serial ‘Aasmano Pe Likha’ and of course, the many advertisements and other appearances Sheheryar continues to bless us with.
To celebrate this honour, Ms T sat down with Sheheryar for a quick one-on-one to get to know the person behind the dapper good looks and boy, were we surprised at how great he is! Read on for more information on the golden boy of Pakistani showbiz.
Name : Sheheryar Munawwar Siddiqui
Age: 25 years
Birthday: August 9th, 1988
Birthplace: Karachi, Pakistan
Height: 5 feet, 10 inches.
Occupation: Model/Actor
Education: Southshore School and IBA
Relationship status: Single
Marriage: When the time is right and the situation is conducive!
Favourite movie: I am a complete movie buff with too many favourites to name but if I had to go with one, I would say Empire of the Sun.
Favourite actor: Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale are absolutely brilliant!
Favourite actress: In terms of looks, Scarlett Johansson but acting wise, I am a fan of Jennifer Lawrence from The Hunger Games.
Favourite song: I love both old and new music so have too many favourites but Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel is great.
Favourite band: Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam all the way!
Favourite performance of your own: I hate all of my work. I am one of those people who always criticise themselves and try to do better every time. Hopefully, my next project will be my best though. I am looking forward to it and hope others are as well.
Favourite holiday destination: Beirut, Lebanon.
Favourite book: The Outliers and The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
Favourite quote: I came across this a few years ago while reading Shakespeare’s Hamlet in which he says “I could be bound in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space.” I like this line because it implies that a person is only as happy as they try to be and that our happiness should come from within, not from others. I also love the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.
Most embarrassing story: I can’t remember. That is how I deal with bad experiences — I forget about them.
If you were stuck on a remote island and had to take someone with you, who and what would you take: I would definitely take the character John Rambo with me so he can do all the work and help me survive. But then, he isn’t much of a talker so I would keep a couple of Scarlet Johansson’s movies in handy to keep myself entertained.
How does it feel to be Ms T’s Hottie of the Year: I am utterly shocked but ecstatic! It is surreal that I beat out so many of Pakistan’s leading men for this honour. Thanks!
What is your New Year’s Resolution: 1) I hope to revisit all of my previous unfulfilled resolutions. 2) I want to focus on my work and do even better in 2014 than I have previously and 3) I want to make more time for my family and friends.

No doubts, he is the hottie of year! He worked very well to make his place in the industry, especially when there were lots of other artists surviving hardly.
He says : on a remote island he would take a John Rambo type and Scarlett Johansson's MOVIES.......now that came across as all wrong :-)
